Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight

The 2026‑04‑13 MOT at 48,620 miles passed, confirming the 2018 Ford Focus is currently roadworthy, though the tester recorded offside front inner road wheel distortion and perishing near and offside rear tyres. No major mechanical defects were noted, indicating a stable maintenance trend with only tyre‑related advisories recurring. Mileage has risen steadily from 14,748 miles in April 2021 to 48,620 miles in April 2026, averaging about 6,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle; the jump from 2021 to 2022 added 7,303 miles in a single year, and the 2024 to 2025 interval added 6,482 miles, suggesting regular annual use with no extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, and check wheel alignment and tyre wear patterns, paying particular attention to the rear tyre perishing and the front wheel distortion noted in the latest test.
